Mathews is ready writer and forcable

The Dlstanco of tho Horizon.
lChicago Tribune.l

What is the distance of the horizon from.
the sea shore' Owing to the curvature Of
the earth's surface the distance between
spectator on the sca-shore and the dip of
the horizon becomes greater according to
the height Of the spectator above the level
OF the sea The rule for measuring this
distance is as follows. To the height of
the eye in feet add half the height and
extract the square root of the sum, the
result being the distance in statute miles.
Hence, if the spectators eve were six
leet above the level OF the sea, the dis
lance would be three miles; if his eve
were ten feet above the level of the sea
the distance would be nearly four miles,
and so on for any height above the sea
level.

TOO INITIATIVE.
Why Venerable Maiden Lady Had to
Part With an Initiative Bird.

Why Venerable Maiden Lady Had to
Part With an Initiative Bird.
A gentleman residing in CeylOn wished
to make a present to a maiden aunt of his
living in London, and he could think of
nothing SO suitable and likely to be a
source Of amusement to her as a mina-a
small bird, corresponding in appearance
and size to an English backbird, and riv-
aling the parrot in powers of imitation
Proc uring good specimen of the species,
fresh from the forest he set a watch
upon his own tongue, avoiding all slang
and being very careful in respect of
grammar. Then, taking the bird on board
. vessel about to sail for England he
gave it to the ships cook, with a
promise that if the bird was de-
livered into the hands of the
lady with its vocabulary undefled bonus
of ten shillings would be Forthcoming,
whereupOn the cook promised to take all
possible care of the bird-tO nourish him
and watch over his morals. On the voy-
age the nina exercised a marked infu-
ence for good over one part, at least, of
the vessel, and the cooks cuddy was d
perfect hall of propriety, and in due
course he received his ten shillings. A
few weeks passed, and then the gentle
man in Ceylon received letter from his
aunt She thanked him for his gift, but
said she had been obliged to part with the
mina-not, however, on account of the ex-
pressions he made use of, for his language
was correctness itself, but she could not
endure all day long plaintive cries OF

In Boston the other day a burly

dangerous one, but this did not seem to
give him so much uneasiness as did the
temerity Of pedestrians who persisted in
passing below close TO the building. The
warnings Of the men who were guarding
the dangerous section OF sidewalk were
repeatedly disregarded, and the Irishman,
